Verifying a Doctor's Credentials

The Federation of State Medical Boards (FSMB) publishes a list of state medical boards. The list provides the address, phone, fax and Web site. Most state medical boards will respond to telephone inquiries about public disciplinary information. However, if you want to search across states, see the article, "Finding Licensing and Other Information About Doctors," as well as DocInfo and DocFinder. In addition, the American Board of Medical Specialties lets you conduct five queries daily for doctor certification information.
